Yeah pets can feel like family members, had to have my cat put down recently was really hard, think of all the good times. This video encapsulates the whole spectrum of emotions that owning a dog throws up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGQVX8iGbgk

I lost Brandy, my golden retriever, after 14 years, 3 years ago.
He used to lie in the hallway, behind the front door, waiting for me to return from work (I live on my own). A couple of times, I caught his paw under the door when I opened it, and he squealed. So, I got into the habit of opening the door just a few inches and looking in to see how he was lying, before pushing it open. I was still doing that a month after he died. |

Yeah it is really sad but the filmmaker obviously cared about dogs very much. Your loss will hurt less with time.

crescit the point I am making is let's get thing's into perspective,a loss of a animal compared to a child ?
|

ok but this isn't what the subject is about

Ive cried over a floppy when I didnt want it and having lost my wallet at the same time.. but really that wasnt important..
any my wallet was actually under the bed which I found the next day |

By:
Hearts, why do you have to spoil it. This is about a beloved dog/dogs, what the hell's it got to do with children?
|
|
By:
I think people have the choice to chose over what upsets them.

By:

when poor ol scooby was eventually put down, I was nominated family member to go up the vets and pay the bill and pick up his tags and collar
i'd been about 16 but i remember the other guys in the waiting room with their dogs; as i paid the bill & sadly left playing with with scoob's collar, half of them started to cry |

Ive cried over a floppy when I didnt want it and having lost my wallet at the same time sounds like a bad double whammy with a prostitute |
|
By:
Not far off.. not a prossie, but a bird took on a free holiday purely for riding.. missed the WC qtr finals the next day in Singapore by being in a copshop reporting the theft with her there also, and half accusing her and coming back to room and finding it under the bed.
felt a bit silly |
|
By:
Me too RR, my dog died November 2008, we got a ** in December in the same year but she doesn't have the same spark as him. I have came around to her and show her the same love I showed for my old mate but I keep comparing her to him. I know where your coming from.

Thanks for bringing that subject back again ovalman.. Did you readStevie P's story on the drifting apart thread?? horrible
|
|
By:
come on ovalman, it's not the poor dog's fault!
|
|
By:
No punter, but ts hard not to feel a bit bitter, even u know its not the new ones fault
|
|
By:
just as long as one knows when buying a new puppy, give it plenty of love and not to compare it to any animal else

".......Your loss will hurt less with time. " From my experience I would say that is true, but time only numbs the pain, still hurts. |
